Fort Wayne, Ind. – Rain and isolated thunderstorms could move into Fort Wayne by early Friday afternoon, potentially lingering through midnight and slowing down weekend travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service, Fort Wayne has a 30% chance of showers beginning before 2 p.m. Friday, with storms more likely between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Saturday. The overall chance of precipitation rises to 40% overnight. Northwest winds between 5 and 10 mph could accompany the system, but no severe weather is expected.
The unsettled weather will be brief. Sunshine returns Saturday with highs in the low 70s and clear skies expected through Monday. Sunday and Monday will bring warmer conditions, with highs reaching 75°F and 82°F respectively — a sharp contrast to the cooler, wetter end of the workweek.
Drivers should watch for slick roads late Friday, especially on I-69 and U.S. 30. If thunder roars, head indoors — even brief storms can produce lightning and localized puddling.
Conditions will dry out heading into next week, but more light rain is possible by Wednesday. Keep an eye on local forecasts for any updates or changes to Friday’s storm window.
